Great
I homeschool my 7 year old. He's a grade ahead (3rd grade). I really like this kit. The instructions are mostly pictures that tell you how to make the machines so its easy for him to follow. The little booklet explains very basic physics and how the simple machines work. I have to simplify the explanations a lot still but he can still build them and get an idea of the basic concepts behind them. Its great quality, however some of the pieces are kind of difficult to take apart so I have to use pliers.

Great gift
Got this as a gift for my nephew and he absolutely loved it. For the price, it kept him busy for hours. Its nicely made and for a kid who loves taking things apart and putting things together, this hit the bullseye. Would buy this company’s products again.

Very useful and fun
Pros: 1. The instructions are easy to read and understand. 2. The plastic pieces are very durable. 3. Each "simple machine" diagram explains the use and function of the machine. 4. Very educational and useful in a homeschool setting when studying Simple Machines, one at a time. Cons: 1. The pieces sort of "lock" together making disassembly a bit difficult, especially if you put the wrong pieces together. 2. You can only make one "machine" at a time. So, you need multiple sets if you want to have multiple machines constructed at the same time.

Not everyone is an engineer
Good, but plenty of room for improvement in instructions. Not everyone is an engineer and can easily visualize how things go together.

Nice toy, but overpriced
Toy made from plastic, almost no metal parts so for Grade 2-4 kids excellent home learning on simple machine kids learn at school.

Excelente
Uno de los mejores juguetes que le puede regalar a un niño que le gusta la ciencia y que en edades escolares, pueden por ellos mismos entender mejor como funcionan algunas cosas.

Playing with purpose!
My 8 year old grandson loved this. The instructions were clear and easy for him to follow without much help from Dad! He has remade the model several times each time with enthusiasm. I will look for another similar "toy".
